Ingredients
  • large egg
  • 1/2 cup cheese - cheddar or any cheese of choice
  • green onions, sliced
  • 3/4 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced - more if desired
  • 1/2 cup green sweet peppers, diced
  • 4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • Chop vegetables into coarsely cut pieces of a desired size. Saute in 10 inch skillet until slightly softened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Crack egg into mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  • Add frozen potatoes and mix egg into frozen potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • On stovetop, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a 10 inch non-stick skillet to be warmed on medium heat setting.
  • Add frozen potato mixture to a non-stick skillet, using a spatula to level the potatoes evenly across the pan. Since the potato mixture does not firm up after cooking only one side, the non-stick skillet will assist with the ease of turning the pizza over when the first side is finished cooking. Cover pan and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown on bottom surface of potatoes. Remove cover and cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Lightly coat flat baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
  • Remove skillet from stovetop. Using protective mitts or hotpads, place a flat baking sheet over the skillet. Hold baking sheet against skillet and turn skillet over so pizza drops out of skillet onto baking sheet.
  • Remove bits of potato from skillet and place it back onto burner, adding remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Slide potato pizza off baking sheet and into skillet, allowing uncooked surface to begin cooking.
  • Sprinkle sauteed vegetables over top of potato pizza and cover with cheese.
  • Cook second side in covered skillet for 5 minutes, until golden brown and then cook uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes. When finished cooking, tilt skillet and allow potato pizza to slide out of skillet onto serving plate. Cut into 4 pie-shaped pieces and serve warm.
  • Note: Meat can be added to this recipe. Simply use ground meat such as sausage or pieces of pepperoni. Add 2/3 cup of meat to mixture when adding other ingredients. Retain 3 tablespoons for use to be sprinkled over surface when the remaining cheese is added.

Directions
  • Brush the gas or charcoal grill grates with oil to prevent salmon from sticking.
  • Place rack approximately 4" from heat source. Preheat grill (the fire should be very hot).
  • SAUCE: In a bowl, mix all of the sauce ingredients together. Adjust seasonings to your liking.
  • Just before serving, add in the parsley.
  • SALMON: Rub a thin coat of oil on salmon to prevent sticking.
  • Spinkle salmon with dill and add a slice of lemon to the top.
  • Grill salmon, flesh side down, for 5 minutes. Cover the salmon with foil after the five minutes and then continue to grill for 2 to 3 additional minutes.
  • To check for doneness, cut into the center with a sharp knife. If salmon appears flakey, it is done.
  • Remove the salmon from the grill and onto a serving platter.
  • Pour the gribiche sauce over salmon or serve it on the side. Serve immediately.

Classic Risotto Recipe
PREP: 15 minutes
COOK: 45 minutes
READY IN: 1 hour
Container: 2 saucepans--one medium and one large
Serving Description: 4 generous servings when served as a main dish or 6 to 8 servings when served as a side dish.
Servings:
Change Servings
Ingredients
  • 5 cups chicken stock (or any other meat stock)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups Italian rice such as arborio (a generic brand of risotto rice can be used)
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or similar hard cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 5 cups of chicken stock (or any other type of meat stock, depending on the flavor desired). After the stock is heated, reduce the heat to very low.
  • In a separate large saucepan or other cooking pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add ½ cup of finely diced onion to the pan and slowly sweat the onion, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the heat to become too high and do not allow the onion to brown.
  • Add 1½ cups of Italian rice to the pan (do not use lower starch, long-grain varieties). Stir the rice immediately (a wooden spoon works well) over medium heat and continue stirring, preventing the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes. Monitor the heat level so that the rice and onions do not cook too quickly or take on any color. The rice should become slightly translucent.
  • Pour in ¾ cup of white wine and stir constantly over medium heat until the liquid has been absorbed. Add 1 cup or less of the heated chicken stock (or other meat stock) to the pan, stirring constantly, over medium heat. It is helpful to use a ladle to transfer the stock when needed. Continue adding the chicken stock in small quantities (a ladle-full or two), but only after the rice has absorbed nearly all of the liquid.
  • After 20 to 25 minutes of stirring and adding liquid, taste the rice for doneness. It should be creamy, but the center of the grains should be al dente. If more cooking time is required, continue stirring and adding stock, or if the stock has been depleted, use warm water. If the rice is done before the stock is depleted, the remaining stock does not have to be used.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, season with salt and pepper, and add freshly grated Parmesan or similar hard cheese. Stir the risotto to blend the ingredients and remove the pan from the heat. Allow the risotto to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.
